Save Time

Gene Roddenberry called space the final frontier. In truth, time is the final frontier. Your ability to manage time determines whether you control the events around you--or those
events control you.

Today is
--are
you making it count? Good time management opens new horizons, empowers
you to achieve your goals, and lowers your stress levels.

I am a time management expert. I will show you the secrets of warp
speed working. I will show you how you can do 72 hours of work in 8
hours--and get it done better.

Time management is my favorite topic, because people tell me they are putting the principles to work and seeing great
results.

You, too, can see great results. Let me show you
how.

I will show you the
common fallacies that undermine most efforts to manage time, and I'll
show you how to use time wisely. From my seminar--which will pay for
itself within weeks or possibly days--you will learn such important
things as:

How to control time and events, rather than
letting them control you.

Why "multitasking" can actually cost
you time, and what to do about that.

Why focusing on filing fritters time away, and
what to do about that.

Why the complex systems commonly espoused as
time management tools simply don't work for most people.

The over-riding concepts that give you those
"ah-ha!" moments for effective time management.

Simple strategies and terrific techniques that
will work for you.

In short, I will show you how to get results rather than just try something that "seems" right. You can
spin your wheels, or you can get traction. My tires stick to the road,
and yours will, too.

Credentials

I am noted for handling an immense amount of
work, and doing it well.

People often ask me, "Do you ever sleep?"
The answer, of course, is yes. What they don't know, but you will, is how to make the
most of the limited time you have. If you want a peek at some of the things I
have to say, hop on Google or Yahoo and search for:

Mark+Lamendola+Time+Manage

Look through the hundreds of results, and you will find
interviews of me in publications you will recognize (for example, Better
Homes and Gardens and Women's Day). I've also been interviewed by dozens of online
publishers, editors of professional organization newsletters, university
students, and other people who were looking for outstanding advice on time
management and found it when they talked with me.

The thing is, they got some good information by
interviewing me for their article or research project. Think of what you would
get by having me speak at your event. And it's not a memory dump. I don't try to
impress the audience with how many tips I can tell them in the allotted time.
That would be a waste of their time now, wouldn't it?

If you want a knowledgeable, engaging speaker who can
impart real value at your next conference, contact me. What if you don't have a
conference you need a speaker for, but do have time management problems in your
organization? I can come to where you are and provide a time management seminar
just for you!

Fees

I offer two types of seminars: virtual and in person.

Virtual Seminars

Over the past few years, I have been reluctant to travel for speaking engagements, because doing so involves wasting huge amounts of time. It's rather cheeky of someone to accept payment for telling you how to save time while burning hours standing in line at
airports. Thus, I now offer virtual seminars in addition to in person ones.

How these work

I will call into a conference line that you set up.

I will present for 30 minutes. This is the length that most appears to
maximize client ROI.

You will need a moderator at your end, to "handle the mike." These
presentations are interactive, to keep people focused and learning.

If you want visuals, I will send those ahead of time.

Yes, I will comment on specific problems. I do not believe in "one size
fits all," so my comments will not take the form of canned "solutions."

Yes, I am available for weekend presentations.

Virtual Seminar Fee

30 minute talk: $350.

Q&A: A 20-minute Q&A session is included in the price.

I bill only for the time agreed upon in advance. There are no surprise
billings.

In Person Seminars

In Person Fees

Luncheons or dinner meetings (45 minutes to
an hour).
$700.

Full presentation (90 minutes). $1,200.

Extended presentation (2 hrs): $1,800.

Three hour workshop: $2100.

Why I don't offer full-day workshops or multi-day seminars. These are a
waste of time. People will absorb only so much. Some people don't mind bloating
out what is really a one-hour presentation, but I do.

Expenses

If you are within a 2 hour drive of Kansas City, my expenses are included in
the fee.

Travel to either coast is an additional $150 per day of total time
(typically, this works out to $300).

Travel in between these points will depend on your exact location.
Chicago, for example, is an extra $50.

Cost-reducer

Here's an offer for any group that has video equipment. If
you will make a 5-minute professional quality video of me presenting to
your group, you will get a significant price reduction (contact me to
negotiate).

Speaking Style

I use an interactive, informal style. I do not believe in "death by PowerPoint." I normally begin by asking individuals why they are at
this presentation and why the topic is important to them.

My focus is on entertaining and informing my
audience--meeting their needs. I do not overwhelm with data or try to
provide a memory dump. Instead, I help people understand key concepts,
remember principles, and take away specifics they can use right away.
And I make them feel good about it.
